“I’ve got a generator coming supposedly but it’s just for emergency use really”
Depends on generator. Generally a water-cooled engine is the best for long-term (meaning near-continuous) use, while the cheaper, air cooled, ones are called stand-by for a reason (meaning that your hours are limited before they start to fail).
So you might be limited to actual emergency use, rather than being able to provide continuous power, should the blackouts end up being like the ones now in South Africa (as in near-daily).
I think it’s just a Craftsman 3500
But if I can ever get a double-wide trailer or an RV might have a little backup in an emergency
Needs gas ⛽ I think
